Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HCM.
I have read and understood your concern.
More information will be needed to know what may be the cause of facial numbness.I wish to find out if symptom of sudden onset, if all of your face is numb or only one side, if any speech problems, if mouth is deviated, tongue numbness, are you hypertensive or diabetic?....Possible causes of such symptoms may include:
